I have heard the argument you describe. The x86 PC thing is something I never understood at all. The IBM PC was released in 1981 and the XT was released in 1983 both predating the Mac.
They are just as vintage as anything else. The thinking at the time was that other than a few specific x86 machines they were just appliances basically. I used to think that way but it's now clear that they hold a place in the history of computers, even the clones. -- Linux Home Automation Neil Cherry kd2zrq@linuxha.com http://www.linuxha.com/ Main site http://linuxha.blogspot.com/ My HA Blog Author of: Linux Smart Homes For Dummies KD2ZRQ
